Purola MLA Durgeshwar Lal expressed gratitude to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for accelerating the strengthening work of State Highway 48. The MLA acknowledged the government?s efforts to improve road infrastructure in the region, which is vital for connecting remote areas and promoting local development.

The road work on State Highway 48, a crucial lifeline for residents of Purola and surrounding areas, has been long-awaited. The highway plays a significant role in facilitating trade, tourism, and transportation, enhancing accessibility to remote villages in Uttarkashi district. With the strengthening project underway, the highway is expected to be more resilient, ensuring better connectivity during the monsoon season when landslides and road blockages are frequent.

CM Dhami?s administration has prioritised infrastructure development across Uttarakhand, with a focus on improving road networks in hilly regions to boost economic growth and tourism. The Purola MLA expressed confidence that the ongoing work on State Highway 48 will further improve the living standards of the local population, reduce travel time, and ensure safer roads.

The initiative aligns with the state's broader efforts to modernise road infrastructure and promote balanced regional development. The strengthening of State Highway 48 is seen as a crucial step in enhancing Uttarakhand's transport system and improving the quality of life for its residents.
